>> welcome back, everyone. a good morning to you. it is 6:12. how is this for a colorful sunrise. a gorgeous view from our mt. tam cam. the bay in the foreground. the clouds make it beautiful,
6:13 am
and you will wake up to those this morning. but they will burn off and it's actually getting warmer out there. lisa argen will fill you in on all the details coming up. three months after a horrific limo fire on the san mateo bridge we learned the findings of the criminal investigation. five women died when they couldn't get out of that limo. abc7 news reporter vic lee has the story you will only see on abc7 news. >> reporter: the chp wanted to see if anyone was criminally negligent. they focused on the driver, orville brown, and the owner of the limousine company. sources tell us at the end of july the chp decided there was no evidence to press criminal charges against the two men. then suddenly brown's estranged wife said publicly that the two argued on his cell phone shortly before the fire as he was driving. >> i'm sure he could have saved them, you know. but he was on the phone. >> she charged that her husband was playing music too loudly and not paying attention.
6:14 am
when her media interview surfaced, investigators renewed their probe of brown to see if he was too distracted to react quickly to the emergency. sources tell abc7 news the chp reviewed his cell phone records and determined that he had not been on the phone with his wife during the fire, and that there was no other evidence to charge him criminally. the chp's conclusion is that the tragic incident was the result of a mechanical failure. the stretched limousine burst into flames on the san mateo bridge on the night of may 4th. the fire killed five women. four others survived by crawling out of a narrow opening to the driver's compartment. this cell phone video shows the fire started in the rear of the limo. witnesses say the back of the lincoln town car was extremely low to the ground while it was traveling across the bridge. sources with knowledge of the probe told us that the air springs, called balloons, in the rear of the limo somehow deflated, setting off a domino effect that led to the fire.
6:15 am
usef manages a garage that services limousines. he explains what most likely happened when the balloons failed. >> these are air springs. they aren't even air shocks. they are air springs and they carry the weight of the car. one has a rupture on it, the whole car drops down to basically almost on the tire so the car with the weight, it bounced down too hard and ended up hitting the gas tank, which is right in this spot here. it might have hit the gas tank and then you see when it hit the ground it will create a spark. >> and that spark likely ignited the fire. rick lee, abc7 news. >> in egypt witnesses say they have stormed the mosque while firing teargas at hundreds of
6:16 am
supporters. yesterday morning 80 people killed. number killed this week has reached a staggering 700. the muslim brotherhood angry that their leader morse of morsi was overthrown, declared yesterday a day of rage. some people were seen jumping tore their lives off a bridge and others dodged bullets in front of the four seasons hotel. president obama has asked egypt to lift the state of emergency declared earlier this week. >> we know the new eastern span of the bay bridge will open over labor day weekend. but what happens to the old one? wayne freedman has more on the tear-down. >> they say we are a disposing society, easy come, easy go, newbie gets old but when it comes to bridges we are still sentimental, apparently. >> i knew it was going away and we are thinking we are going to miss the old bridge. it's roughly a week and a half until the eastern span of the bay bridge becomes obsolete and abandoned, at least by cars. if you assume demolition would be easy, here comes andrew gordon to ward us off.
6:17 am
>> it will be very complicated. >> millions of parts to join. a structure 8 1/4 miles long. >> it cost $77 million to bridge. that was in the seven inflationary decades later the eastern span alone will cost almost $300 million to bring down. the deconstruction, if you want to call it that, will take place in three different sections simultaneously by three different contractors working from the top right down to the mud level at the bottom of the bay. strangely enough, in the top section the first piece they take off is likely to be the last one they put on. >> they are actually studying how the original span was built so they can take it apart in reverse order. >> but much more carefully because we are more environmental. the bridge steel has lead paint, and the road bed has
6:18 am
concrete and gasoline. they want to make sure none of it falls into the bay. as to what might remain. >> yes, we want to leave a little for history. >> the spokesman told us one possibility. a park in place of an approach may be a nice memorial or a pier. these are artists conceptions. >> don't question, will your new memorial be seismically sound? . [laughter] >> yes, it will be, because it has nowhere to go. >> except the history books. in oakland, wayne freedman, abc7 news. the bridge will be closed for five days over the holiday weekend, and that closer will start late in the evening on wednesday, august 28. the bridge will reopen by tuesday, september 3, which is the day after labor day. a.c. transit is offering extra bus service to some east bay bart stations to help people get across the bay during the shut down. bart will be operating trains around the clock during the closer, and san francisco bay ferry is expanding their schedule. if you need to drive during the shut down, download abc7as exclusive waze traffic app.
